First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

The true statement about the residual plot is (a) The regression line is a good model because there is no pattern in the residuals.
<h3>How to interpret the residual plot?</h3>
For a residual plot to be considered a good model, the points on the plot must be at random and they must not follow a specific pattern
From the graph, we can see that the points are scattered
Hence, the true statement about the residual plot is (a)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
In this problem we have
y=18 when x=2
Find the value of the constant of proportionality k
